Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

If you're shooting at a typhoon...you're going to need a bigger gun.....

rifle--7.62 X 39--my AK has never malfed.  Can't say the same for 5.56 or .30 M2 (sentimental favorite).

handgun--.44 Magnum, again--no malfs.

Like 30 caliber or bigger bullets to deal with feral pest with 2, 4 legs or with wheels. Drum gun for herd or packs. 50 BMG or elephant guns for larger legged/wheeled vermin. Lol
Too bad T-Rex are extinct would be fun to hunt and would make awesome European mounts. Love to collect jaw bones and teeth.
Good hunting.

7.62 x 39 and .45 acp

It's what I have the most of in my ammo inventory right now.
and I have more than 1 firearm in each caliber
And plenty enough ballistics to stop any threat in a natural disaster scenario.
